I love Merril. I love Merril's garage....but it seriously lacked organization. Piles of items littered the floor and drove me bonkers. Enough is enough. I set out to hatch a scheme to build shelves for Merril's birthday. He left town for a few days and so I set to work. I started in an unimportant corner of the garage to get started.
Things went along pretty well so I moved to a different corner by the garage door.
I learned pretty quick that I'm kind of a weakling. Theses shelves would go a lot faster if I didn't have to pilot drill all the holes. But the work moved along and soon I had some good sections!
Then came the fun part! Fill up all the shelf space and getting stuff off the floor!!
Yippee!
After Merril got home, I was able to ask his opinion about how he wanted the rest of the garage. And then I set to work. I didn't want him to finish it because that didn't seem like much of a present. So I did them all myself.
It's going well but it's still going to take a while to finish it all up. As I go, I get more ideas of how to store things. It's a work in progress but coming along nicely!
Update: I don't feel like I took pictures of anything else this month because I was working on this project A LOT! It took almost the whole month to construct all the garage shelves. I'm pretty proud that I didn't lose any fingers. I got some sore muscles and a few bruises, including this goose egg, which I received trying to take apart a section I'd messed up and the board twisted around and whacked me in the forearm.
In the end, I'm really please with how they turned out.
